Overview

The pathogenesis of the Farmer's lung disease is type 3 or type 4 hypersensitivity reaction.

Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis:

Hypersensitivity reaction because of the many immunologic phnomenon present and antibodies of organism invasion into tissues.

Acute-
  • Type 3 hypersensitivity
  • When moldy hay antigens complex with antibodies, to bind complements and attract neutrophils, causing inflammation by release of their toxic enzymes and radicals.
Chronic-
  • Type 4 hypersensitivity
  • mononuclear cell inflammation and granuloma.
Unifying hypothesis-

Sensitised pulmonary alveolar macrophages activated by antigen attract neutrophils and also modulate T cell activity leading to appearance of mononuclear cells and granuloma.

Genetics

There are no established genetic predispositions.

Associated Conditions

There are no associated conditions.

Gross Pathology

Acute phase-
  • Pulmonary alveolar wall and interstitial accumulation of neutrophils, mononuclear cells and edema.
  • obstructive bronchiolitis and capillary inflammation is present.
Late phase-
  • mononuclear cell predominant
  • presence of noncaseating granuloma

Microscopic Pathology
